Which trench coat for which body type? The ultimate guide to making the right choice
Discover the perfect trench coat that enhances your figure: the trench coat is a timeless piece, but you still need to know which one to choose based on your figure. Discover our tips and Trench & Coat selections to find the perfect model.
The trench coat is a must-have in every woman's wardrobe. Elegant, practical, and timeless, it transcends seasons without ever losing its style. But with the variety of cuts, lengths, and volumes, a question arises: which trench coat to choose according to your body type? At Trench & Coat, we believe that every woman deserves a coat that enhances her figure while remaining comfortable and trendy. Here are our tips for finding the ideal trench coat and the models to discover in our autumn-winter and mid-season collection.
A-shape body (shoulders narrower than hips)
If you have pronounced hips and a slimmer upper body, opt for trench coats that structure the bust and add volume to the shoulders. Models with buttoned shoulder tabs, an elaborate collar, or raglan sleeves are perfect. The belt will accentuate the waist and harmonize the silhouette.
Our Trench & Coat selection: the Tangry belted cotton trench coat or the long and elegant Maroca trench coat are perfect allies for this body type.
V-shape body (shoulders wider than hips)
Conversely, if your shoulders are more pronounced than your hips, opt for a fluid, straight trench coat that rebalances the silhouette. Slightly flared or oversized models help soften the frame. Choose soft colors and minimalist details to avoid weighing down the upper body.
Our Trench & Coat selection: the Sauzet oversized trench coat is perfectly suitable.
H-shape body (unmarked waist, shoulders and hips aligned)
For an H-shape silhouette, the goal is to create the illusion of a waist. Belted trench coats are therefore your best allies. Choose a structured model with a tied belt that will accentuate the silhouette without constricting it. Straight but fitted cuts are ideal for elongating the line.
Our Trench & Coat selection: the authentic Chamas trench coat, with its slightly fitted cut and casual chic spirit, or the Lonicera model, a new season arrival, are perfect for this body type.
O-shape body (generous curves, undefined waist)
If you have a curvy body type, opt for long, fluid, and slightly flared trench coats that accommodate your shape without compressing it. Avoid overly structured volumes or too many details on the top. Belts can be worn loosely for a softer effect.
X or O-shape body (slim waist, balanced shoulders and hips)
This is the easiest body type to dress! The belted trench coat perfectly highlights the defined waist. Dare to choose classic cuts such as long or short belted models, which emphasize harmonious proportions.
Our Trench & Coat selection: the Maroca trench coat or the Tangry model are timeless pieces that enhance this body type.
The trench coat is a universal piece that adapts to all body types, provided you choose the right cut. Oversized, belted, long, or short: every body type can find its ideal trench coat at Trench & Coat.
